We&#39;d popped outside to tidy up the garden who should I see over the fence at the back than our fox. I called out to him, and sure enough he was up for a visit and hopped over the gap in the corner of the garden to see what was on offer.<\/p>\n<p>What was on offer was very little, but we did find a few sultanas and Markies to keep him happy. We spent about 15 minutes out there with him, and then watched from indoors for another 10 or so before he wandered off. <\/p>\n<p>As well as managing a few photos I took some video clips which I&#39;ve added to  my <a href=\"http:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/foxvideo.html\">fox video<\/a> page. It&#39;s called &#39;A November Afternoon&#39;. Here&#39;s a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/fox\/movie\/novemberafternoon.wmv\">direct link<\/a>. What you can see is the fox wandering around the garden, being tempted by a Markie and then burying it behind the pergola, and finally relaxing in the centre of the lawn. No doubt he&#39;ll be back later to retrieve the Markie. If you watch closely you&#39;ll see how careful he is to keep to the paths. He even uses the stepping stones set out in the border.<\/p>\n<p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2005\/11\/fox1311019sm.jpg\" alt=\"fox1311019sm\" width=\"550\" height=\"412\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-19192\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2005\/11\/fox1311019sm.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2005\/11\/fox1311019sm-300x224.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><br \/>\nThis is the best of the photos from today.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2005\/11\/fox1311014sm.jpg\" alt=\"fox1311014sm\" width=\"550\" height=\"412\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-19191\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2005\/11\/fox1311014sm.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2005\/11\/fox1311014sm-300x224.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Here is a good general shot of the garden and typical of what we frequently see when we look from the windows.
